So much to think about here, but just two things that struck me during the ep:
Virtue is only virtue in extremis
Critical Incident Technique is a way of measuring how well an organisation or operation works by seeing how it acts when it doesn't work according to script. How do pilots act when the autopilot malfunctions, how do hotel clerks act when the guests start yelling at them, how do doctors act when the patient crashes... How well does the narrative of Doctor Who hold up in extremis, in its last (sort of ) season? Will it stick to the script, or will it have to improvise?
Women in boxes
But also Timelords in boxes. In a way, isn't the TARDIS - the thing that enables/forces the Doctor to keep travelling, keep getting into situations, keep having to make hard choices - a prison of a sort? Is complete freedom to also complete freedom from, or the opposite? That which gives power is also a trap.
